Dirt-Sensing Hard Floor Cleaners

The Kärcher FCV 4 Has DynamicControl Technology

The Kärcher FCV 4 is an all-in-one cleaning appliance engineered to handle multiple hard floor cleaning tasks in one go to maximize efficiency.

The unit is engineered with DynamicControl dirt sensing technology that will automatically adjust the suction power and water flow depending on the dirtiness of the flooring. The system also features a VisionClean display for monitoring performance and to switch up cleaning modes. The unit is rated to cover 200-square-meters of living space in a single go thanks to a 45-minutes battery, while the twin tank design means it will only allow clean water to come into contact with flooring.

The Kärcher FCV 4 has a brushless motor to maximize runtime and overall durability, and also features the HygienicSpin technology to remove up to 99% of bacteria from flooring.
